  • Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...

  • The a7R II brings 42MP stills and 4K video to a small, lightweight body. Electronic shutter and in-body image stabilization make for high quality images and video you'll work harder to get, if you get it at all, from comparable DSLRs. BSI-CMOS gives the a...

  • This is an expensive camera. $3300 is too much. Two of the most popular pro DSLRs, the Nikon D810, and the Canon 5D Mark III, are both under $3000. If you’re a photographer who doesn’t care too much about video, they’ll give you superior focusing and batt...
